Jose Antonio Vargas: Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen
Thursday, March 31, 2022, 7 – 8pm
On behalf of the SJU Reads early arrival program, we will be hosting Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas at SJU on Thursday, March 31, 2022 from 7:00-8:00pm. We will host Mr. Vargas in-person in the Mandeville Teletorium and also live-stream the event.
Vargas's memoir, Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen, was the 2019 selection of SJU Reads. Dear America chronicles Vargas's life as a DREAMer and also helps to stir dialogue and awareness around the immigration system in the United States.
Please note that the week of Monday, March 28th is UndocuWeek, an opportunity for the SJU community to learn about and engage with the realities of undocumented immigrants and students in the United States. Mr. Vargas' visit is part of UndocuWeek programming.
